About Anthony Francis

A jack-of-all-trades full-stack 100% web technologies expert. As a self-driven learner and huge fan of all things web, I've spent the last 15 years assiduously studying front/back end web programming, webhosting, DNS, domains, cPanel, WHM, and more! These days, I specialise in React Native, developing apps in TypeScript for iOS and Windows. There's not much more I enjoy than submitting a PR to DefinitelyTyped.Currently I'm fortunate to be working for Officeworks, developing new features for their Team Member Apps. During my time here, I've had the opportunity to rewrite our store apps from the ground up, replatforming them from HTML based Cordova with Lambda back-ends, through to JavaScript based React Native apps with auto-scaling, load-balanced dockerised ECS tasks.I'm passionate about the experience of our team members (TX), and I strive to make the apps they rely on every day more useful, and easier to use & understand. The positive feedback we receive from our stores is more than enough motivation to keep on improving. With a clever team and hard work, there's nothing that can't be achieved.I'm not currently looking for a new role, but I'm happy to keep in touch if that changes in the future.
